From as far north as Pulau Langkawi to as far east as Sabah and Sarawak, a total of 209 schools have registered for the Best School Newspaper Awards 2003. While the bulk of entries are from secondary schools, we are happy to note the participation of about 50 primary schools.
The number of schools that have signed up is certainly encouraging, especially in view of the fact that the contest is being held in the second half of the year when teachers and students have their hands full with exam preparation and other matters.
It is heart-warming to see the participation of more than 1,000 classes who are eager to make their mark with their own class newspaper and to vie for the RM500 class party.
We hope students and teachers keep up the momentum. Don’t stop until you have safely sent off your completed masterpieces in August. You have about one month left to do your interviews, write your stories, take pictures and design your pages.
So far we have had three successful student workshops to give tips to budding journalists, designers and editors. These workshops were held on three consecutive Saturdays beginning July 5, with the final one in Penang. Feedback from workshop participants has been positive with many saying that they are raring to complete their “publications”.
One such school is SMK Bandar Baru Sungai Buloh, Kuala Lumpur, while another is SJKC Chiao Chee, Selandar, Melaka (see stories on next page).
Below is the complete list of schools which have registered for the contest. Contest coordinators should call Arnie Lim at 03-79671298 if their school is not in the list. No further enquiries about registration will be entertained after Friday, Aug 4.
Please note that the registration list is not an indication that the schools will win a class party or parties. The class party is subject to the receipt of a minimum of five completed newspaper entries per category by the closing date of Aug 30.
The list of winners will be published after the closing date.
